Claude Adrien Helvétius 26 January 1715 26 December 1771 was a French philosopher freemason and littérateur. Helvétius' philosophical studies ended in the production of his famous book De l'esprit On Mind. It was first published in 1758 and was intended to be the rival of Montesquieu's Spirit of the Laws with Helvétius arguing strongly against Montesquieu's theory that climate influenced the character of nations. The work attracted immediate attention and aroused the most formidable opposition especially from the dauphin Louis son of King Louis XV. The Advocate General Joly de Fleury condemned it in the Parlement of Paris in January 1759. The Sorbonne condemned the book while the priests persuaded the court that it was full of the most dangerous doctrines. The book was declared to be heretical so atheistic that it was condemned by Church and State and was burned. Helvétius terrified at the storm he had raised wrote three separate and humiliating retractions. In spite of his protestations of orthodoxy the book was publicly burned by the Paris hangman.
